To my Wife

Gloomy day in the stuffy cell,

I am sitting on the bed alone in expectation,

My soul is hurt, it is in pain,

I am lost in thought about you.

You don’t care! Why don’t you remember me

The man who inspired in you

The hope for love and tenderness,

Who gazed at you with a gentle glance.

Please, think about me now that I have told you this.

I am guilty!

I have made mistakes.

The prison wall looms between us,

And my memory rests in your gentle glance.

Society and Isolation

Alone and lost and excluded,

Different from those around me,

Alone, lost and isolated,

How I yearn to be free.

Alone and lost and a stranger,

I don’t know what to do,

Alone and lost in society,

Lost and alone without you.

I ‘ve built up a barrier between us,

To smother the pain that I feel,

So I still feel so isolated,

Even though the barrier’s not real.

I just wish it was different,

If only I could be strong,

I feel different from those around me,

Even though I know it’s wrong.

I can’t change the way I feel,

I just wish that I could,

Be like most other people,

But I don’t know if I should.

Even though I know I different,

I’m special in other ways,

So even though I’m isolated,

I should feel happy today.

Hello there, Son

Hello there, Son, how are you today?

Is your homework all done?

Have you been out to play?

No, not yet, Dad, we’ve just had our tea,

I was hoping you would ring,

Just to talk to me.

I can’t talk for long, son, there’s a queue for the phone,

Is your mother with, or are you all alone?

She’s gone out again, Dad, with that Trevor from work,

I hate to see them together,

He’s such a jerk.

Don’t be like that, son, he’s not that bad,

They are happy together,

I just make her sad.

I know what you’re saying, dad, I know it’s true,

I can’t help what I feel,

I just want it to be you.

I’m nearly in tears here and my cards almost done,

I will call you tomorrow,

I love you, my son
